How hard was it to change you LS1 intake to an LS6 intake. Should I do it myself or pay a sponsor. And sponsors about how much to change one. Thanks

Well I have the old one off and am getting ready to put the new one on. I have to go to work though so it will have to wait until tomorrow. Not too bad so far.

Got the intake on after a few bumps. I will get the plug on the manifold tonight and she will be ready to run. Not too bad. Just have to have patience which is a virtue I lack. Thanks to everybody who helped me out. NBM2001Z28 I might try to make it up there tomorrow to get the codes deleted if I can get the plug modified tonight at work.

Yeah it came in this morning. Now I have to do some cutting on the exhaust manifold plate to make it fit which should be done tonight and tomorrow she will be ready for a road test. Right now it starts up and idles fine so I don't think anything could be wrong but you never know.

It's a time and space thing *******. It is supposed to go in for the headers on the 19th because I don't have enough room to do it myself. Damn one car garage.

Your one car garage is bigger than mine. I can barely open my drivers door when the passenger side is all the way up against the wall. Small small garage

It's an old Huffy 10 spd. Mountain Bike that I've stripped down to the bare minimum for some occassional street action. I've also set it up as a single speed bike now. It's kinda slow out off the line with it's current gearing, but it really picks up momentum quick
